Introdução: Faraway places with strange-sounding names, Far away over the sea; Those far-away places with the strange-sound-ing names Are calling, calling me. Goin' to China, or maybe Siam; I want to see for myself Those far-away places I've been read - ing a - bout In a book that I took from the shelf. Bridge: I start getting restless whenever I hear The whistle of a train; I pray for the day I can get underway And look for those castles in Spain. They call me a dreamer well, maybe I am, But I know that I'm burning to see Those far-away places with the strange-sound-ing names Calling, calling me.
